New Pembrokeshire live entertainment venue given go-ahead

An application to open a new live entertainment venue at The Hangar, Milford Haven has been given the thumbs up by the county's licensing sub-committee.

Barty Events Ltd were granted planning permission for The Hangar, Maritime House in the Thornton Business Park in July and this week, the application returned to county hall for licensing approval.

The licensing application stated that The Hangar will host live bands, DJs, bingo sessions, boxing matches, live screenings for live sporting events including boxing and rugby, and live music events.  Barty Events Ltd has applied for a number of events per year, operating until midnight, however five special cases will run until 2 am.

The plans previously prompted public nuisance and noise complaints from locals, resulting in inspections and noise monitoring exercises carried out by Health and Safety officers.

Following a lengthy debate, the licencing sub-committee approved the issue of a licence with conditions including no off-site sales of alcohol, and no sale of alcohol 30 minutes before closing.
